Nepal: Revolutionary 'Gen Z' protests spark global solidarity

Nepal has been engulfed by deadly, youth-led unrest after the government banned major social media platforms. What began as outrage over restrictions on freedom of expression quickly escalated into a broader uprising against corruption, political patronage, and inequality. The violent protests, which saw demonstrators clash with security forces, led to dozens of deaths and the deployment of the army. The scale of the "Gen Z" protests ultimately forced Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to announce his resignation, shaking the country's fragile democracy.
